My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Testicular cancer

I am 35 years old. I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer at 33 on October 2, 2019. I had a softball sized tumor wrapped around my lower aorta with nodules in my lung and neck. I endured 4 rounds of VIP Chemotherapy, RPLND surgery to remove the tumor and 81 lymph nodes, and orchiectomy to remove my right testicle. I was declared in remission in September 2020.

I am a survivor.

Survivorship to me means embracing the situation that the universe has given you, and making the absolute best of it. I've come to think of my testicular cancer as a positive experience in my life; I've made friends, learned about myself and my family, redefined what I find important, and learned how to enjoy each moment in life. I've earned an opportunity to make a difference.

Testicular Cancer is unique. It's not just about a disease, it's about the very core of our masculinity and our identity. The journey we are on is by no means easy, but it can be rewarding. Each year there are more of us. Each year there are survivors. And each year some will embark on their next journey too, like our friend Andres. If we all band together as a brotherhood, an alumni of sorts, then we will all be able to support each other during whatever phase of the journey we are on.

Awareness: Testicular Cancer is the #1 Cancer in Males Aged 15 - 34. Roughly 10,000 men are diagnosed in the US every year. 99% survive if caught early. Everyone inside of this demographic, and everyone who loves someone in this demographic, needs to make TC an open topic of discussion.

Education: Self Exams. Talking to Your Family and Doctor. Online Resources. What Happens if I'm Diagnosed?

Support: Members are available to answer any and all questions on a personal level. TCF is a group that is open to those who need it and are united by a common desire to help each other. We are a shoulder to cry on. A sounding board to scream at. A buddy to laugh with. A friend to celebrate with. You are not alone.
